The crab we ordered this time was extremely sweet-so sweet that it was inedible. We’ve ordered this dish before, and it tasted normal. But the restaurant’s attitude this time was very poor. They denied any fault on their part and refused to apologize or issue a refund. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I visited this restaurant with a friend who helped me navigate the menu. If you’re not familiar with Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend a few dishes that are really delicious. Be sure to try the kung pao chicken, mala dry pot, Sichuan spicy cold noodles, and mantou (my personal favorite). I really enjoyed the spiciness of the food. There’s a lot more to explore on the menu, and I definitely plan to return to try more options. No reservations are necessary, but it can get quite busy on weekends.

[5/5, Allston, MA] The size of that bowl is just absurd! It was $40! For the first time ever, I found myself wishing there were more vegetables in my mala spicy pot. The lamb and squid skewers were incredible—definitely a must-try! The Szechuan chicken was both spicy and crispy. I’ll definitely be coming back!
